AI Can Still Help

This is the real thing — more accurate with a drawing,
but you can still get an analysis just by entering the product's use.

  • Automatically recognizes shape, dimensions, and material
  • Recommends the top 2 manufacturing methods with a fit score (%)
  • Results are automatically linked to your quote request
  • From upload to results in as little as 1 minute
  • Free, and you can re-analyze as many times as you like with different drawings

AI Manufacturing Method Analysis

Upload a CAD file and AI will analyze the shape to recommend the best manufacturing method. No drawing? Just enter the product's use for a rough analysis. The more material, quantity, and use info you provide, the more accurate the analysis. For assembly drawings, select Assembly as the material.

Drag and drop or click to upload a CAD file

Supports .stp · .step · .dxf · .dwg · .ipt · .iam · .sldprt · .sldasm · Max 50MB

No drawing? Just enter the intended use below to get an analysis

Select Material — more input improves accuracy

Production Quantity — more input improves accuracy

Product Use — more input improves accuracy

e.g. Smartphone stand, automotive interior bracket

* Analysis without a drawing, or from DWG, IPT, IAM, SLDPRT, or SLDASM files, is estimated from the filename, metadata, and text description, and may be less accurate. For a more accurate analysis, use an STP/STEP file.

How It Works

Here's How It Works

No complicated process — just upload your drawing to get started.

Step 01

Upload Your Drawing

Upload a drawing file in STP, STEP, DXF, DWG, IPT, IAM, SLDPRT, or SLDASM format. Everything happens right in your browser — no software to install.

Step 02

Automatic AI Analysis

AI recognizes the shape, dimensions, and material from your drawing and automatically determines the best manufacturing method (injection molding, CNC machining, etc.).

Step 03

Request a Quote Instantly

The analysis results are automatically filled into your quote request — no need to re-enter specs, just request a quote right away.

Step 04

Your PM Reaches Out

After reviewing your quote request, your dedicated PM will reach out quickly to discuss the details and guide you through next steps.
